My life is always full of sadness and little joy. However, no matter(无论) what happens, I can always face it bravely.

Last year,  I couldn’t believe the   1   that I could enter the only key high school in my hometown.  Then I rushed to my home and told my parents.  But my father didn’t  seem as    2        as I was. He just kept smoking without saying a word and my mother put her head down and couldn’t help   3  .

I knew very well what my family was   4___ . My mum had been ill in bed for 2 years. We lived a hard life and I couldn’t continue my schooling. I felt so upset(心烦意乱) but I could say   5    to my parents. I decided to help my father with his work   6   my family.

To my surprise, things completely changed   7     the beginning of the new term. My head teacher came to my family with some money, which was   8     by my schoolmates. He encouraged me, “Always have a dream.” With tears in my eyes, I stepped into the key high school.

I have been studying hard since I entered the high school. No matter when I meet difficulties, I always   9     my teacher and schoolmates. I have a college dream and I must work hard for it, no matter how  10    life is. Just as a great man says, “When one door shuts, another opens in life.”

Dear mom，

     How's it going? I'm very well here at school. Don't be  1    about me.

     Mom, last week, we had the end-of-year exam. I'm sorry   2  you that I didn't do very well in some subjects. I always get  3  . My heart beats(跳动)fast when I have the exam. 44   , I want to tell you that my   5     report is from my English teacher. You know, I was good at English when I was very young. Every morning, I get up early and read English   6  .And in class I   7   the teacher carefully. I did OK in math. I am not interested in it. I only finish my homework every day. But I don't like   8   . So my worst report is from my science teacher. I   didn't understand it. My teacher said I was lazy. I don't think he is right. I really work hard on science, but I can't   9    it. I don't know the reason.   10   my Chinese teacher is happy with my Chinese. He said I was hard-working, but I could do a little better. I think I will study harder on it next semester. Believe me. Mum.

      Well, that's all about my report card.

                                                                          Love, Lily
